Assumes there is a single instance of the lookup value.
Array entered:
=ADDRESS(MAX((table=D1)*ROW(table)),MAX((table=D1)*COLUMN(table)),4)
If there are multiple instances of the lookup value then you have to define
which instance you want based on direction. For example:
10...20...30
15...30...18
17...22...42
If the lookup value was 30 which one occurs first?

Hi,
Try this as an array so enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter
=CELL("Address",INDEX(Table,MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(OFFSET(Table,ROW(Table)-CELL("Row",Table),0,1),D1)>0,0),MATCH(D1,INDEX(Table,MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(OFFSET(Table,ROW(Table)-CELL("Row",Table),0,1),D1)>0,0),0),0)))
Where
Table is the named range that holds you array
D1 is the value you are looking for.
There has to be a simpler way but i don't know it.

In Excel2003 is it possible to use something MATCH() on a 2D array, to
find the position of a particular entry? The result could be expressed
as a 2-element vector of {row,column} or as a single number
representing the "cell number" (e.g. in a 3x3 array, the middle cell
would be #5
